Pierce, NBA family mourn death of ex-Celtic Fab Melo
The NBA family was rocked by news that Fab Melo died Saturday in Brazil at the age of 26.
The Boston Celtics drafted the center in the first round in 2012. Despite only suiting up in six games, he left a lasting impression on many people he met in the pros.
RIP Fab Melo can't believe this 🙏😞
